Toyota 4Runner Accessories

I bought the universal fit CIPA tow mirrors - not as nice fit as those designed specifically for the GM/Ford/Dodge but they work fine for under $30 each. Try Amazon or Camping World.

I do have the Homelink in an 04 sport. When I had the windshield replaced, they did say that the windshield is different when you have the Homelink option.

There have been previous posts on installing Homelink. You may want to do a search.

I just purchased a 2006 4Runner Sport Edition. I had XM Radio in my old car and the receiver in the 4Runner has a button for Sat. Radio. Is there a way to have my services transfered over to the SUV or do I have to get a new radio. I wouldn't mind getting a new radio, but it came with the 6 disk in dash which I really like.

Thoughts?

Help!!!

Any ideas on how to keep exhaust from coming in through the rear window? I'm thinking about going to Midas or something similar and have them mod it - bend it toward the side.

Thanks

Does anyone know an effective mesh / cloth pet divider that can be easily put up or down?

Thanks

Toyota now offers an XM kit for the 4Runner. The receiver goes under the passenger's seat and it plays through the car's factory sound system. It costs $449 + installation.

Hey, robg4! No, because there will be a rubber washer between the spoiler and the rear gate so that the water can get any where near the screw.

Hi heavan32678, visit: http://mytoyota.toyotaownersonline.com/login.php (If you're not a member yet, registration is only 3 minutes or less). There you can sample SATELLITE RADIO ONLINE FREE for THREE (3) days before you decide to subscribe to it for your SAT/RADIO on your 2006 Sports 4Runner. This will also give you the opportunity to compare it with your XM Radio in your other car. I have an '06 Sports 4Runner myself V8 4WD (housed with the 4.7L DOHC engine) I'm assuming we have the same model. At this time, I'm satisfied with the sound system that came with it. I did however, sampled the SAT/RADIO offered for three days free. Lots of great music stations all over U.S. and still haven't decide if I subscribe now or later.

If you are still interested I installed the electrochromatic mirror in a 2006 4Runner. It was included when I bought the vehicle but I had to install it. It came with the wiring that connects to Pin #A9, connector 1E1 (Brown/Red wire) in the lower left kick panel according to the Toyota manual. This wire is hot only when the ignition is on.

Does anyone know of a door rub bar (black unpainted) that can be added to a new 4Runner with double sided tape to prevent door paint dings? Something like that on the Tundra would do if it doesn't require holes to be drilled.

Donnandy,
Added the cold air intake about 3 months ago to my 06 sport edition V6. Great purchase! Sounds terrific, easy install, more power but gas mileage is hard to tell. Can't keep my foot out of it. Highlt recommend this as a first step for better sound and power upgrade.

You might wanna do a bit more research on this topic
before you do this "mod," cos it might in the end
still not solve your problem. I believe this is just
plain physics of the aerodynamics. Even after the
mod, the smell might go unnoticeable, but it doesn't
necessarily mean that the dosage has completely
gone zero. If you find anything, please share with us!

I'd like to install a grill guard on my 2006 4Runner to prevent scratches and dings when driving (slowly) in 4x4 through brush and things, but mainly to prevent scratches and dings that are appearing while my car is parked. Is there a brand that is better than another, one type that won't effect gas mileage too much?

Thanks.

Just purchased a used 2004 4Runner SR5. Absolutely love the truck.....except for those nasty cloth seats.

Has anyone every exchanged those seats for aftermarker, or have you heard of a Toyota dealership having the ability to do so?

I would greatly appreciate hearing from someone who has exchanged the stock cloth seats for others.

My direct email is mwjoos at aol dot com.

I am looking to buy these Wagg parts based primarily on the discussions here. The best price I have found is at Everything SUV for $323.40 and $258.50 respectively plus $34 shipping. Does anyone know of a better price? I thought I read that someone got them both for $500 but that may have been some time back. :confuse:

Can anyone recommend a new horn for my '99 4Runner? Any place to look on line?

I purchased the WAAG Frontrunner and rear bumper guard and installation went perfect. Delivery took about 5 weeks so their 3 week estimate is optimistic. My only criticism of the design is that the mounting brackets seem a little wimpy so I'll probably reinforce them with angle iron. They claim the rear guard fits with the factory hitch but it also fits with the Hidden Hitch/Draw-Tite #70411 with no problems on the 2006 4Runner. This hitch is much superior in design and installation to the Hidden Hitch #70779 which is their later design but it doesn't have a center support and requires quite extensive modification of the rear facia and brackets.

I'm interested in having an in dash navigation system installed in my "06 4-Runner Limited. I'm considering a Kenwood DNX 5120. Any feedback on this unit or any others would be greatly appreciated!
